Week 6 - Keyboarding - GIFs & JPEGs

JPEG comes from 'Joint Photographic Experts Group' (the name of the committee that wrote the standard for this type of computer image).

We won't go into the technical details--what you need to know is that GIFs & JPEGs are the most commonly used GRAPHIC files on the Internet. They are also very easy to copy and use.

To copy a GIF or JPEG into a document simply: 1. RIGHT CLICK on the image 2. Scroll through the gray box which appears and click on COPY 3. go to your document, put the curser where you want the image to appear, right click, then scroll to and click on PASTE.
